What are your ancestry results?

It’s pretty common knowledge that most African Americans are not 100% of African decent due to our ancestors experiencing rape from slave owners, mixing with native Americans during colonial times & modern interracial relationships.

I am curious to see the genetic diversity my brothers on here have. Feel free to post your results as well.

My background: raised by a single father Black-American father from Tampa, FL & Venezuelan mother who was considered morena (nick name for brown skinned Latinas with black hair).

I never really got to know my mother but it’s interesting how much African ancestry latins have on average, I was surprised to learn she was 25% black. My dad didn’t even know she was black til I showed him these results haha. The media doesn’t show black Latin Americans so before traveling to South America I thought most people here were white but it’s actually extremely diverse.

63% African, 22% European, & 15% Native American is my ancestral mix.

What’s your ancestry?

Is It Time to Drop the Term African American?

I’m pretty sure this was brought up but i’m new here and need to get this off my chest.
I can’t stand when we are called African Americans.It’s something the civil rights generation ushered in aka Oldddd Nigggasss.I do recognize there were elders who was riders, Shout out to The elders Neely Fuller, Francis Cress Welsing Dr Claude Anderson just to name a few. I feel like African American has hurt us more than helped us lately .That Elon musk being referred to as the first African American to buy majority stake in Twitter was it for me..

What People Get Wrong About African-American English | Otherwords

Why does this irritate me so bad?....
It's one of the most studied — and most controversial — varieties of English. But many people still hold deep misconceptions about African-American English (AAE).

DO WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO EDUCATE CIVIL RIGHTS GENERATION?

I noticed that a lot of the civil rights generation are computer illiterate. Lots of them don't have access to the information due to this computer illiteracy. They only get their information from CNN and MSNBC. (Which I call Caucasian News Network and MZUNGU SELL OUT NEWS BY CAUCASIANS). I Was recently educating my dad on lots of things and most of it he had no clue about.

DO THE GEN XERS AND MILLENNIALS HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO TRY TO KEEP THE OLDER CIVIL RIGHTS GENERATION EDUCATED?

Family STILL won't see you if your're not jAbbed

I was planning a trip to ATL to visit my in-laws this May. I got a call from my sister-in-law that because I didn't get that jAb, I will not be able to visit her. I thought we were passed that since it's been shown that the jab community is getting the CoCo and spreading it more so that the unjAbbed. Shit is crazy in my opinion. I don't really care, but found it crazy.

@0:11 he said yadadamean like he was 6 feet tall. It's funny but LOW key this dude probably has some level of mental illness. He kept repeating himself over and over again, he should learn to keep things short. I know this was just a tiny slice of his life and we shouldn't judge him based off of it. What do you all think about it? Do you think it was a small issue?

Airbnb Business?

Curious if anyone has ever tried anything like this. My dad's friend's wife started one. A family member had passed away and instead of selling the house, she wanted to keep it and fix it up to rent out but as an airbnb spot. She started hosting earlier this year and she is making BANK from it! The house is nothing special but for people who don't want to stay in a hotel who come to this area, it is a better option.

I was looking at other people's listings in the area and I was blown away. This one woman charges something like $1,100 for FOUR DAYS. And she is fully booked from May to August. That is insane!

Anyone here ever do this kind of business or consider it?

Are you a homeowner or renter?

It seems like most people my age can't afford to buy a house so I know plenty of renters. Some still live with their family even. I would like to own my place down the road but I feel like I should wait until I find a man and am ready for a family. I don't wanna buy a house and have to sell it or have him move in. Maybe I am too old-fashioned and stubborn in that sense.

Are you a homeowner or renter? If you own a house - what style is it and do you have a nice yard? If you rent - you in a house, duplex, condo, or apartment?
